About Me

I grew up in Alaska and live in the Northwest U.S. I love to travel and have spent time in Europe, Eastern Europe, Kenya, Rwanda, Morocco, Seychelles, Egypt, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, Costa Rica and Mexico.

I like reading, walking, films, knitting, the oceans, puzzles, tidepooling, mountains, hiking, Frida Kahlo, gardening, Miro, Music, Old photgraphs, Loteria, Library things, a robin, Vintage 20's-70's things (toys, books, board games, tickets, old advertisements, containers...), Pomegranate, polka dots, Chagall, bird photographs, scientific drawings, and my nieces and nephews. I have one very small cat.

**Things I Love:

  • Snacks... Chocolate -- Especially fair trade! Also, the little chocolates baristas put on the side of the dish when you order espresso. Salty things, Sweets, sour things, gummis, interesting confections from faraway places.
  • Things that are regional, special to a place!
  • Bookmarks!
  • Barbapapa, moomin, krtek, robots
  • Zines
  • Yarn (any colors/natural fibers)
  • Interesting magazines (Esopus, McSweeneys, BUST, Gastronomica)
  • Stationery! Cotton, linen, paper that has been inventively reused or upcylcled. Beautiful, funky, letterpress printed or homemade. *Homemade or interesting stickers.
  • Candles--beeswax w/out scent or with essential oils--(not chemically scented--perfume allergies). Love lemon verbena, lavender, clove, fig, basil, pepper, citrus...
  • Tea--Black or Herbal, my favorite is Lapsang Souchong! Hibiscus, lemon, rose, mint (anything with flavor that isn't "flavored")
  • useful things with an interesting design
  • Anything green or organic
  • Handmade things!!

Things I'm Not Too Crazy About

  • perfumed things (allergies)--essential oils are OK.
  • Nestle's chocolate
  • Homey country style
  • Knitting with polyester
  • Earrings--no pierced ears
  • Black licorice
  • The happy/sad theatre mask
  • Artificial sweeteners

My family is diverse in ethnicity, gender, religion and nationality and I'm proud of that.
